Model Breakfast: Waking Up With Josephine Skriver

When we see them on the runway, or in the pages of a magazine, they look perfect: legs for days, smokey cat eyes, pillowy lips, and washboard abs. But when models wake up in the morning–no makeup (or maybe still wearing some of last night's makeup), groggy, hungry–it's easier to remember that they're just normal people. Well, extremely genetically blessed normal people.

So during New York Fashion Week, we asked eight models to document their mornings for us: what they eat for breakfast, what they look like when they first wake up, and what they do before call time for their first show of they day (which is often verrrry early). Every model is repped by The Society Management, a new agency affiliated with Elite World, that focuses on digital branding and longevity.

I started modeling a few years ago in my native country Denmark. Before that, I was a prolific soccer player. Since then, it has been an absolute adventure with shows, photo shoots, and everything in between.

Lately I've been a bit obsessed with cooking! I love being in the kitchen and experimenting with all types of dishes. For me, half of the enjoyment in eating is making the meal. I love watching the Food Network and all of the cooking competitions. They really give me great inspiration. I'm no Master Chef, of course, and it does go REALLY wrong at times. But I love doing it, and practicing only makes perfect.

Whenever I'm back home in Denmark, it's almost always me who ends up cooking the dinner or baking sweets. So far, my family seems to enjoy it!
